There are wordlists in BT that are there by default. Have a look at this directory:
/pentest/passwords/wordlists/

Traverse those folders to find what you're looking for.
Also you can make your own directory just about anywhere as long as you point your program to that location.

We need to know what program you're using in order to help in inserting your list. But you should really try your best to learn the proper syntax on your own. Almost all cli programs can issue a help command and will show you your options. If it's a gui program you should look for the documentation or even tutorials because some even show video or screenshots that can explain what you're trying to do.
